The stay at this house was nice and Hans and his wife was a great host. The house is set back from the highway and there is nice and quiet in the area. We lived there for a week and the facilities at the House was much better than we expected. We enjoy walking in the local nature reserves and sailing in the nearby lake. We would like to comeback back to this house and area someday.

Lovely cottage located close to the lake, forest and wild natur. The house consists of 2 bedrooms and a sleeping loft. The house also contains living room, kitchen with dining area and large bathroom with a small sauna. In the living room you have access to a large terrace where you can see the lake. The lake is located 200 m from the house. You are more than welcome to use our rowboat for free. The residence is distinguished by a lovely view and provides holidays with relaxation or activities.

Per's house is located in a beautiful, remote and quiet area . A perfect get-away for the summer. The kitchen is perfectly equipped and there is a grill on the terrace. On rainy days you can enjoy the Scandinavian culture in the small sauna in the house. There were no towels and sheets provided as people usually bring their own. However, we were travelling from Austria with limited luggage. It was probably our fault that we did not check that beforehand. Per was, however, very kind and gave us access to the house next door via the phone, so we could get some sheets and towels over there. It was also the first airbnb where we had to clean the place by ourselves, which was, of course, no problem but that's something to keep in mind. Also, there is no Internet (no wifi, no data roaming), which we actually enjoyed as it is nice to get away from the busy media-dominated life sometimes. Overall, a perfect, beautiful stay and thanks a lot to Per and his flexibility and kindness. Suggestions for the area: OST Café in Bredsjö, apparently a well-known sheep cheese maker in Sweden with a nice and original café with tasty cakes.

this is a very, very nice place. it is beautifully located next to the lake, in a very peaceful Environment, and the house has all the luxury you need. we had an excellent Experience, and highly recommend it.

We lovend this stuga! Actually, there is nothing but nature and nature and nature. With raining, the house is big enough to be inside. Beds were good, and also the kitchenstuff. Notice, there is no WiFi (not a problem if you don't need it, but helpfull with kids...). Cities and villages in the surroudings are a bit further away, so driving for two hours is normal. And fun, when you see a Moose!!!

Mascha2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

If you like to sit outside in the afternoon, watching the birds over the lake, swimming in the lake, searching moose, walk through the endless forests & enjoy the silence of middle-sweden, this is a very good location !. Conversation with Per was ever easy, he was very supportive, his cottage was equipped tastefully & practical; our favourite was the terrace to the south with the view to the lake ! :)

A small authentic farmhouse in the heart of Bergslagen, situated by the woods. Walking distance to the lake with swim beach and sauna. Located by one of the several mountainbike routes in Hjulsjö.
At the organic farm are sheep and chickens.

In the summer is a plenty of oppurtunity for hiking, cycling, canoeing, fishing (fishing license included), mushroom and berry picking. During wintertime there is a lighted track for cross country skiing in the village.
The house has on the main floor a kitchen with an authentic woodstove, livingroom and a simple bathroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with a kingsize bed and one with a bunkbed, a single bed and a sofabed.
The farm is heated by woodstoves, wood is included the rent.
Bicycles, a small fishingboat and canoes can be rented from the landlord. Kids can help to feed the farmanimals together with the owner. Horseriding is available for an extra charge. In the village the landlord owns a little cafe where you can buy a cup of coffee with homemade applepie and home-grown vegetables. You can also get specific information about nature and culture.
Hjulsjö, the centre of the mountainbike routes!

We enjoyed a tranquil weekend at 'A small authentic farmhouse.' The house is exactly as featured, as are the surroundings complete with sheep and hens. The nights are exceptionally lovely, and we enjoyed restorative sleep. There is a lake and many hiking/mountain bike trails nearby. The hosts and their village are charming. We had a minor issue at the house, which the hosts attended to immediately and fully. The house is located a bit of a drive from a larger town, so renters will need a car.

A typical charming Swedish red cottage in lovely surroundings next to a lake(3 min walk) with your own bathing place with platform, access to boat and one canoe for up to 3/4 persons and free fishing(You can borrow simpel fishing equipment). Fully equipped main house with 3 bedrooms. Additionally 1 small house available with 4 beds.
It is very quiet and peaceful here and you will see the sheep and horses graze near the house.

Set amidst the wilderness of forests, meadows and lakes of Bergslagen, you can spend days in this house all year being fully activated - or relaxed. In the summertime, sheep and horses walk in the meadows close to the house. In the autumn, walk the forest and pick mushrooms and berries. In the wintertime, try cross country skiing in the meadows or around the lake. The fish in the lake are awake all year around. The lake's other inhabitants, the beavers, of which there are plenty, sleep in the winter but can be spotted in early mornings and evenings the other seasons if you stay silent. One of my own kids' favorite summer activities; "beaver safari". Foreign guest often go on a "moose safari", but you are likely to see a moose whether you want to or not. Many days the golden eagles can be seen sweeping in the sky. People are often astonished by the silence out here.
There is a small house close to the main building with 2 bunk beds for 4 people. Should you be interested in this house, please contact us and we will then change the price accordingly depending on the number of people.
The lake and a private dock for the guests is found a short walk from the house.
The house is a unique construction that has faced a number of renovations and new rooms, the oldest part of it being from the 19th century when this area was vastly populated. The house has been in our family since the 1920's. We ourselves used it as our country house all year around until a few years back. Now I moved out here from the city and live permanently in the neighboring house.

From the house you can go on many hikes in medieval roads, small trails, up on mountains or around the lake. You will see traces of mining, old building foundations and modern sculptures on land and in the lake next to ours. In the forest there is always something to pick, and I am happy to help you find what is relevant for the season.
Although the location of the house is in splendid isolation from civilization, the extended neighborhood, the area within 15-30 kilometer from the house has an impressive variation of things to offer you; the well known SPA Loka Brunn, the gourmet restaurant Grythyttans Gästgiveri, ice cream and sweets shop Nerings and the facilities of the restuarant univerisity in Grythyttan, exclusive sheep cheese manufacturer Bredjö Blå and their cafe and berry wine manufacturers, golf courses, good fishing and awesome national parks. A few kilometers away there is a center for mountain bikes with many km bike weighs in varying difficulty and also rent bicycles. Look for (URL HIDDEN) Please see the guidebook for more detailed info.

Liliann and Hakan are great hosts. The cottage was even better than what you can see on the pictures. Both fire places had lovely and warm fires when we arrived. When the snow melted and the streets became icy they gave us spikes to put underneath our shoes. We had a really good time in the quite and peaceful place, which is perfect to relax while hiking through the forests, ice skating or having a bath in the ice cold lake when using the sauna. For me the sauna was the best part. We even got some boar sandwiches. And I would love to come back in summer.

Judith2015-01-04T00:00:00Z

It was a great to stay. Cosy, typical Swedish house. Nice, big, private garden. We didn't expect to have our own private dock at the lake. And the outdoor eating place was fantastic. It's a calm place to recharge your batteries with nice walks through the forest or doing some yoga next to the lake.

We booked last minute, the hosts could not have been more helpful. The accommodation was fantastic a little slice of paradise. We hope to travel back soon for a longer stay and would recommend it to anyone.

James2015-08-31T00:00:00Z

Fantastic place, cosy and with everything one needs, including wood for the fire and home made forest tea. Great hosts, very friendly and happy to share their time and local tips without imposing themselves from the house next door. Magical spot in the middle of the forest (great walks, berry picking, mushrooms, plenty of wild animal traces) and stunning lake with boat and canoes available (perfect for fishing or just floating about). All in all a top vacation pick for relaxing and nature exploring. Thanks Lillian, Elin and Hakan for welcoming us in this little paradise!

We really had a great time at Mikael Och Pernilla s charming cottage. Both of them welcomed us with hot coffee and took care of every question which occured during the holiday. we stayed a bit more than two weeks with three little Familys and had a wonderfull time out. Hopefully we can make it back soon :-)

Patrick2015-08-30T00:00:00Z

We spent two wonderful quite and peacefully weeks in this lovely cottage. It took less than 24 hours to get familiar with the old fashioned hot water supply and the oven. One small scar on my right hand will remind me. Mikael and Pernilla answered very quick to all our questions before renting the house. Mikael and his kids gave us a very warm welcome, when we arrived after a long journey from Copenhagen. They gave us some tasty muffins and had decorated the rooms with flowers from the garden. We made some nice hikes to the surrounding nature reservations and to the little Ice Cream Shop in Grytytthan. We had a great relaxation! Thanks a lot to Mikael and Pernilla. And please send us the Muffin recipe. ;-)

Lutz & Jenny2015-08-08T00:00:00Z

It is a charming location, very peaceful and quiet. There are some more cottages nearby around the lake but you can't actually see them and it feels like the whole lake and forest is just yours! The fact that there is no running water inside requires some extra effort, but on the other hand it was great fun for the kids. Would love to come back someday!

Anna2017-07-15T00:00:00Z

This is a peaceful, very very quiet and indeed charming place. We spend a week picking blueberries, swimming and watching the woods around the house. Great relaxation! Even though accomodation is very basic, we were very comfortable within a couple of days - the burningtoilett is definitly a highlight :) Since the property is really spacious its perfect for staying with a group. Swimming in the lake is nice, especially in the morning, but there are also many lakes in the surrounding area. Communication with Mikael and Pernilla was easy. They respond super quick and are helfpful with everything.

What an amazing place! Six friends and I stayed at Keith's place for three nights as a surprise present for my partners birthday. It was PERFECT. Really tucked away in the middle of nowhere in the best way. Completely beautiful. It was even better than I imagined. The house has everything you could need for a good time! The boat and canoe made for a few wonderful adventures, meandering peacefully down through the lakes and mooring up somewhere quiet to go for a long walk in the beautiful forests around. (The silverladen trail is beautiful!) The closest town is a good 20 KMs away so having a car is essential if you don't want to take all the food provisions you need in one go. We rented bikes in Hallefors to reach the house originally and the cycle was lovely, but once our friends arrived they rented a car and it made shopping a lot easier! There are endless garden games and the garden itself is lovely! Wild flowers everywhere. Big out the back with space for a game of football and lots of little places for sitting down outside on the lake side to enjoy a coffee. The lake is beautiful for swimming, the little jetty is lovely for sunbathing and jumping in, and the few neighbours are very friendly. There's a big BBQ, bikes and a big fire pit area which we spent our evenings. (Fire is essential for outdoor evenings if you want to avoid the mozzies! They are savage. Take repellant!) Inside the house is just as good as outside as well. The house is beautifully decorated, the furniture is all extremly comfortable with lots of places for sleeping, eating, games etc. 7 slept comfortably but there's space for 10. the best room (apart from the sauna!) in the house is the glass sun room at the front looking over the water. Sunsets from there are amazing! Everywhere you look is like being in a postcard, it's impossible not to take a good photo here. We all agreed it would be spectacular in winter too. Our favorite activity was definitely spending time in the sauna and then running off the jetty into the lake! We had so many activities we hardly had time for them all, because of course one of the nicest thing to do is just... Nothing! Sit quietly and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Try and spot a Moose and listen to the many birds. Keith was a great host and although we didn't meet him personally, he prepared me well with all the information we could need/want during our time. He was very helpful and replied very quickly to any queries we had. Thanks for an amazing stay Keith, we will DEFINITELY be back next year! Best birthday EVER.

This lovely old house is definitely recommended, especially for the adventurous people out there seeking private accomodation. The forest around was quiet, the house had everything we needed to stay there, and the experience was overall highly enjoyable for both us and out three dogs.

Jana2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

For us this was the perfect last minute reservation on our way to Norway. A simple tiny house in the middle of the forest, without electricity neither running water, but with all basic equipment for a nice stay. Quiet, tidy and ideal for us. We stayed here with our little baby and enjoyed our stay.

Elke2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

We had a great night at the place! It was very easy to check in. Aase explained everything else in detail. Great communication. Everything we needed was there. We enjoyed the nature experience. We had free water from the gas station near by. Oil lamps and candles are there,... nice little kitchen with supplies. It was good!

Katja2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

This cabin is an experience by itself. It is as time has stood still around the 1930's. I'm a bit of a history fan and this was a great experience. Although I brought my own modern 'outdoor stove' It's nice to see what seemed the original stove and heater still functional in this cabin. There is complete privacy and there is a spot to build a campfire. Communication with the owner was good and I had no trouble finding it.

This place is really quiet, secluded and beautiful. Me, my husband and our new baby girl had a wonderful holiday here. The house is equipped with everything, nice shower and the bed is big and comfortable. The location is absolutely stunning. We really enjoyed sitting by the lake and going for the occasional row in Tobias's boat and canoe. The area is magical-you are surrounded by fairytale woodland. We had a great first holiday as a family of 3! Thanks Tobias for sharing your beautiful home!

Highly recommended!! We are so grateful to Tobias for making such a special experience possible. He was fantastic communication-wise, going out of his way to help us, and the cabin is as luxurious as it is homely - and extremely well equipped. It was very special to be so close to village amenities and yet feel so secluded - apart from a passing boat once or twice a day we were completely private and quiet which was a wonderful experience. Having access to Tobias's rowing boat, canoes and kayaks was fantastic for exploring the lake (particularly at sunset!), as was the ability to have bbq's, smooze in the hammock and make a fire on the beach. We had some enjoyable hikes nearby as well as a nice afternoon in the spa, and a late evening drive allowed us to see moose, an owl and what we think was a pine marten! We would very happily go back - rarely have we been somewhere where we could so fully relax.

The place and house and host were just OUTSTANDING! We met Tobias at the end of our stay and it was a pleasure. His house was a perfect mix between cosy and modern. We could use all amenities and he even put some wine for us into the fridge. The views opened right to the lake and the perfect sunsets. There were plenty of places in the garden and on the veranda were we could sit and relax. Having a barbecue with nothing more to see than a glimmering lake at sunset is hardly to be beaten. The area around Grythyttan is great for having unforgettable holidays with cycling, hiking, paddling, relaxing. You can find nice towns (Nora), Spas (Loka), industrial heritage (Preshyttan...), great restaurants (Grythyttan gästgivaregard...) and many nature reserves right around the corner. The kanu center in Hällefors provides you with anything you need for activities in nature. And you can see elk!☺

Our stay at "Villa Peace" was one of our most convenient holidays we have ever experienced. In total peace and silence, almost nobody to see, impressing swedish nature, great canoeing trips, best view for breathtaking sunsets, crazy rainbows, cozy times at the fire place while heavy rain and thunder outsite, gemütlich meals, good books in the hammock and deep sleeps. All this in a really comfortable house directly at a big lake, modern and artistic furnished with everything you need. You will find a grocery in 5 minutes with the car and there are some interesting sites for day trips all around Grythyttan. Very recommendable is for example the Hammarmossen and Knuthöjdsmossen - Nature reserve in Halleförs or Högbergsfältet - nature reserve in Persberg. The area is full of forest as far as the eye can see, beautiful with plants and flowers and a lot of little sweet lakes. Perfect for taking photos and enjoying while smoking a pipe :-) Tobias was very nice and explained everything and gave us tips where we could go or what we could do. He even brought us another canoe. Amazing experience, totally worth the price.

Rüdiger2016-08-13T00:00:00Z

Stunning place to stay, especially because the lake is so close. Words cannot describe the beauty of this lake. Very neat and nicely euqipped house and "Villa Peace" is definitely the right name for this house. Tobias was really easy to communicate with! Villa Peace is always worth a visit

Spotting foxes and deer from your living room, a few minutes walk from the lake in the Nyhyttan hamlet in Central Sweden. This modern design villa is located at just 3 hours from Stockholm and 4.5 from Oslo.

At the edge of the forest, skirted by a rippling brook, you will find this well-maintained spaceous and very comfortable detached villa. Completely suitable for living all year round. At a 1185m² land surface it is surrounded by a big garden. Access to the house is via a bitumen road and a very short stretch of gravel serving only 3 houses. So there is no through traffic along the premises.
The villa easily provides space for 6 people. A baby bed is also available as an extra.
All spaces are served by central heating and WIFI. All bedrooms have screens for complete darkening.
DOWNSTAIRS FLOOR
In the closed entry hall shoes and other gear can be placed. This is a useful space as in Sweden normally one does not enter the house with shoes that are worn outside. The spaceous inner hallway has a wardrobe rack, cupboard and a staircase.
The living room literally has nature inside, with great big windows showing nature at its best. There as a wonderful soap-stone woodstove that will keep you warm even long after burning. This provides a great feeling of comfort in mid-season especially. A bag of wood is included in your rental fee.
The modern half-open kitchen features a dishwasher, a hot air and magnetron oven, a 4-plates cooking stove, a big refrigerator and an truly extensive array of equipment for a rental house.
Then there is a spaceous double bedroom with spaceous cupboards and a baby bed. The second downstairs bedroom has twin beds.
UPSTAIRS FLOOR
From the spaceous hallway you enter a double bedroom just about identical as the downstairs one (no baby bed in this room). Then there is a study room with the greatest of views over the surrounding hills. This floor also features a toiletry room with a sink.
BASEMENT
Here you find a freezer, a laundry machine, a drier and clothes lines.
GARDEN
The living door provides direct access to the patio, if required, well protected from the summer sun. The middle of Sweden is quite a bit drier than the South. Also from the kitchen window you will have a direct view across the garden area.

The Nyhyttan hamlet is located in the green heart of the Bergslagen hills in Nora Kommun, Central Sweden, along the Rastälven river and is surrounded by forests named 'Paradise' ! The borough is home to just under 200 people. Within walking distance there are several lakes, bathing areas for adults and children, waterfalls and rivers teeming with trout, the big village lake and several sports, hiking and other recreational opportunities. A Nordic ski track runs right by. Alpine skiing opportunities are at about an hour driving.

If you hire our house, you'll have access to pool-table, motorboat and canoe. We also have a really nice house next to the lake where you can barbeque, go fishing and relax.
The house is equipped with kitchen and about 15 kilometer away from town.

We loved our stay in this heavenly beautiful place. Ilona and Kalle are wonderful and considerate host. The nature is so beautiful and tranquil around the house. Perfect place for love birds or family with kids or anyone who loves nature. Very clean and well organized small log house.

This is such a lovely and quiet place near the lake with very friendly owner. The perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature. We were two couples, it was enough space in the house (one double and two seprate beds) and it is also perfect for families with two kids.

Ronald2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

Excellent! Private with just the right amount of guidance to the facilities. The house was equipped with everything from waffle iron, food processor to coffeemaker and hairdryer. You could not ask for better hosts; kind and helpful.

Super location and lovely property. Beautiful surroundings and good amenities. We felt welcomed and at home and would certainly stay again.

We had a wonderful time at this cottage. A great start of our holiday. The garden was really beautifull. We really enjoyed the lake. Our hosts were very friendly and did everything to make these two days a wonderful time. We would love to come back someday!
